Location: Barrow Street is a small hamlet near the popular town of Mere which nestles under the chalk downs. It has a surprisingly good range of facilities including two supermarkets, shops, bank, post office, doctors’ and dental surgeries, schools, inns and churches of various denominations. The centre of Mere is designated a Conservation Area in which a strict planning policy operates to preserve its special character. The town contains many handsome stone buildings. The surrounding country is most attractive with access to both rolling downland and pasture. Larger towns in the area include Gillingham with an excellent secondary school enjoying a good reputation, Shaftesbury, Wincanton and Warminster. There is a main railway station at Gillingham with services to London (Waterloo 2 hours) and Exeter whilst the A303, which links with the M3, provides east-west road travel.
